multiple applications question

Hello,
I was wondering what happens if you have a bunch of people camping the application form and they all send it. Does the artist get disqualified or only the application that arrived first gets accepted?
Of course I do not intent to have multiple tables or something like that, I only want to know if it's okay if more than one application under the same name gets in.

In advance, thanks for your help.
Good luck everyone!

I read the FAQ and maybe my english is not good enough to understand the way it's explained. That's why I ask.

"The data is collected in a database so the staff can sort it and see what kind of space demands need to be met. This method will also allow individuals to keep applying without overbooking the alley before staff can determine if there is enough space. This process is organized on a first-come, first-served basis. To avoid a flood of applications and possibly crash the website, the Artists' Alley Manager will only be announcing the date the application process is starting and not the time.

If you absolutely know that you cannot be online during that day, you can appoint someone else to submit your application for you - but you must make sure that they put it in your name with your email address. There will be no passing off of 'places in line'."

Sorry if I don't understand just by reading it. For what the FAQ explains, I understand that someone else can apply for you but it doesn't say what happens if they get multiple applications from the same artist.

if your name or studio comes up more than once then you're disqualified iirc from past years
